  <description>
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2017-5715: Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative
  execution and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure
  of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel
  analysis (bnc#1068032).

The previous fix using CPU Microcode has been complemented by building
  the Linux Kernel with return trampolines aka "retpolines".

- CVE-2017-18079: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c allowed attackers to cause a
  denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
  unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is
  validated (bnc#1077922)
- CVE-2015-1142857: Prevent guests from sending ethernet flow control pause
  frames via the PF (bnc#1077355)
- CVE-2017-17741: KVM allowed attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
  information from kernel memory, aka a write_mmio stack-based out-of-bounds read
  (bnc#1073311)
- CVE-2017-13215: Prevent elevation of privilege (bnc#1075908)
- CVE-2018-1000004: Prevent race condition in the sound system, this could have
  lead a deadlock and denial of service condition (bnc#1076017)
- CVE-2017-17806: The HMAC implementation did not validate that the underlying
  cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a local attacker able to use
  the AF_ALG-based hash interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3
  hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel stack buffer overflow by
  executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3
  initialization (bnc#1073874)
- CVE-2017-17805: The Salsa20 encryption algorithm did not correctly handle
  zero-length inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based
  skcipher interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of
  service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or have unspecified other
  impact by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that use the
  blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation (crypto/salsa20_generic.c)
  and x86 implementation (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were
  vulnerable (bnc#1073792)
